Native PC ports console games are exploding in recent weeks: dozens of titles that previously existed only on consoles have started running natively on PC, without an emulator. The phenomenon is driven by artificial intelligence agents and a new toolkit called Reverse Engineer Anything (REA).
What happened?
Recompilation and decompilation tools, now orchestrated by models such as GPT-6 Astra and Claude 5.5 Sonnet, allow developers and the community to convert console binaries into code that recompiles byte-for-byte identical to the original. Titles from Switch, Xbox, PS2, PS4 and even more recent games are appearing in lists of active projects.
What do we know?
REA works as an agent harness: it connects decompilers, binary analyzers, metadata parsers and other tools under a single interface. The agent calls these tools in sequence, generates source code and verifies byte-for-byte matching. Well-known projects include ports of Super Mario Galaxy, Call of Duty 3, Zelda titles and several Switch and Xbox games.
Most ports require the user to own a legal copy of the original game (their own dump). This is not pirate distribution, but native reimplementation from the player's own files.
Why does it matter?
The combination of more capable AI models with unified toolkits has drastically reduced the time and knowledge required for game reverse engineering. The result is a wave of native ports that previously demanded years of manual work. This changes access to old and console-exclusive catalogs, especially for those who already own the original hardware and games.
